Our Campus

We're a non-profit higher education institution with a rich history of helping working students advance in their careers while providing the flexibility and affordability critical to adult learners.

Since its inception in 1966, Albizu has stood for equity and inclusion, and we're proud of our diverse student body, representative of many cultures and ethnicities.

We stand at the intersection of innovation, education, and behavioral science, inspiring students to turn their passion into a profession and give back to the communities they serve. As our founder, Dr. Albizu-Miranda was fond of saying, at Albizu University, “love reaches beyond knowledge."
